optical connections. If you choose to use the optical connection, it needs to be assigned. For more

Connecting a turntable

You can connect the turntable (MM cartridge) to the PHONO terminals.
NOTE:
• The phono input can accept signals from moving magnet (MM) and high output moving coil
(MC) phono cartridges. If your turntable is equipped with a low output MC cartridge, you will
need to use a separate MC head amplifier or step-up MC transformer.
• If humming or other noise is generated when the ground wire is connected, disconnect the
ground wire.
